The images are cleverly broken down into multi-faceted geometrical grits. Each shape is filled in with a pop of basic colour, encircled with a thick outline, giving the whole design a look of stained glass of a cathedral. However, this deck is far from being as motionless as s glass panel. In fact, all of the small details come together in a dynamic design that is sure to attract many looks.

The box will be printed with Premium Cotton Paper and the box will be Embossed on all sides. surprises with a stained-glass looking surface with many details, broken down into 4 sections. Each of them consists of a geometric rendition of each of the suits, separately. The middle bears the name “Bloodlines” in a fun font, matching the rest of the image. The name sits in between two decorative panels with an art-deco looking feather pattern.

Gregory has chosen a refreshing combination of hues of green and yellow lined with a dark green line for the green deck and warmer tones of red and yellow with a pop of aquamarine with burgundy lining for the red deck. Upon opening the box, you will discover a lovely “Good Luck” message on the inner flap and two decorative skulls on the smaller flaps.

I'm always curious about how nature responds to change, & how life adapts to new environments. In my Cryptic Cards deck, I imagined what would happen if moths evolved new wing patterns to hide on human-made materials like playing cards. The idea behind Insecta, rather than cryptic camouflage, is a colourful symbiosis. I'm asking 'what would happen if insects evolved a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with card players or collectors, and adapted to new habitats in our spaces?'

The Insecta deck is my imagined answer to that question; a story where new species from different taxonomic orders of insects have evolved to carry suit symbols for players, in exchange for a safe home on card tables. The 2 colour variants, Opal and Ruby, are inspired by the jewel-like appearance of many insects, and reflect the colours in the court cards of the different suits.
